Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert exchanged 100 gold pounds for 120 gold riso at the bank. First, he exchanged 10 banknotes of 1, 2, and 5 gold riso denominations, and then exchanged some silver riso banknotes and coins, as well as copper riso. banknotes and coins.

When he was in Backlund, the area where coins were placed in Hobert's wallet had been empty for a long time, and now he has filled it.

Nowadays, the currency of the northern continent, the gold pound of Loen, is strong. This has a lot to do with the fact that the industrial output value of the country of Loen is almost that of the other three countries combined.

Therefore, the handling fee for exchanging gold pounds for gold riso is only two thousandths, but there is a handling fee of five thousandths for converting gold riso into gold pounds.

After taking the taxi again and arriving at Earl Christine's Mansion, Hobert discovered that the straight-line distance between Christine and his mansion was actually not that far away.

Their mansion is located in the Juana District, which is equivalent to Backlund's Queens District. Basically, the nobles of Feneport City live here.

Dophis's arrangements were indeed different. There were more than a dozen maids and maids cleaning Christine's mansion inside and out.

Several chefs and helpers, as well as two gardeners and two coachmen also began to work, and Dophis changed into butler's clothes and became the butler of the Earl's Mansion.

After chatting with Dophis, the supervisor, he said that he had also hired a housekeeper, three male servants and three maids for Hobert, as well as a cook, a cook, a coachman and a gardener.

Finally, Dophis said: "If you still need it, you can ask your housekeeper to hire him again.

"In the Baron of Feneport, the standard for servants is no more than 20. I suggest you hire a few more carpenters and masons. I heard that your mansion needs some repairs."

Originally, Hobert wanted to borrow Christine's servants to tidy up his mansion for a while, but after hearing what Dophis said, he seemed to realize that he was now a noble after all. In terms of financial resources, If conditions permit, we can no longer use servants at home to help clean the rental house as before.

Thinking of this, Hobert recalled that he still had more than half a year to pay the rent on Blanca Street, which was more than a hundred silver cords.

As he thought about it, Hobert wanted to slap himself again. He kept telling himself in his heart: "I am a noble now, I am a noble now." He would not think about the more than one hundred silver cords anymore.

Originally, Hobert wanted to complain. Once he joined the "Tarot Club", he would become a believer in the "Poor God". The most direct manifestation of this was that he was stingy.

But after thinking about it, Hobert realized that this was not because he was stingy, but because he had been taught to live frugally since he was a child in the AD era.

The life of a noble was dominated by luxury and waste. Hobert found that he actually couldn't stand it, and in his heart he also looked down on these nobles who did not have the correct moral standards.

In the lobby of the Earl's Palace, Hobert met Christine sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

The main hall has been cleaned, and now it is the only place where there are no servants busy.

Father and son sat across from each other, and Christine's new valet poured Hobert a cup of tea.

Hobert took the initiative and said: "I traded the crystals for that bracelet at a party. I thought it was a little different and not too expensive, so I bought it. However, I didn't find it after researching it for a long time. It was made into a bracelet if it had any use.

"At the same time, I also used scraps to carve a seal with paint and made a pocket watch key."

Of course he had to lie about this matter. "The Kingdom of Disorder" was his biggest secret at the moment, a secret that he could not tell anyone.

Kristine nodded slowly: "Maybe it just doesn't work in our hands."

He warned: "Keep the fire seal and pocket watch key well. I have a hunch that they may be of great use in the future."

Even the demigod Christine did not see anything special about the Fire Paint Seal, so Hobert believed that so far, only angels or above could detect the specialness of the "Order Crystal".

However, these "order crystals" are still of great use to Hobert, and they cannot be hidden in the "country of disorder". It would be a huge waste of resources.

Kristen asked, "What are your plans?"

"I plan to return to my territory tomorrow." Hobert now feels more and more that the territory should be the key to digesting the potion. If he wants to achieve new improvements, he must go to the territory as soon as possible to try to digest the potion.

Kristine said "hmm": "I will help you invite the deputy director of the Bureau of Land and Resources to dinner tonight, and we will get to know your territory well."

Hobert was slightly startled: "I didn't expect this."

Although Christine is a "judge", the official position given to him by the king as deputy chief of staff is a real high-ranking official, and it is enough to invite Deputy Director Roderick of the Bureau of Land and Resources to dinner.

At the dinner, the guests of honor chatted happily, and Roderick told Hobert a lot of information about his territory.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that the gift Christine gave to Rodrick made him quite satisfied.

Through the dinner conversation, Hobert learned that his territory was the most fertile territory in Colson County. It had previously belonged to a viscount who was born and raised in Colson County.

But six years ago, the viscount's family died in their own mansion under mysterious circumstances, and the officials sent to investigate found nothing wrong.

Later, the royal family learned from the Teutonic Viscount on the west side of Full Moon Lake that the Viscount had died at the hands of bandits in his territory.

The king seemed too lazy to care about this and divided the viscount's territory into two. He had already given one half to Baron Ronald, but Baron Ronald never dared to go to his territory.

Roderick was filled with disbelief when he heard that Hobert was going to his fiefdom. He suggested that Hobert hire more bodyguards or even a team of mercenaries.

After the dinner was over and Roderick was sent away, Christine suggested that Hobert go to his territory alone and take public transportation to inquire about the situation along the way.

Roderick only talked about the general situation, who owned the surrounding territory, and whether there was any background information. Hobert had to find out the details by himself.

Hobert also had this idea. The secret of his "travel" ability should not be exposed easily.

Back at his baron's mansion, the housekeeper and servants hired by Dophis were already waiting in the courtyard. Under the supervision of the housekeeper this afternoon, the servants had cleaned the house. At least Hobert's master bedroom was No problem.

Hobert called the butler into the room and informed him that he was going to his territory tomorrow, and gave the butler 50 gold riso to maintain the daily expenses of the Baron Mansion, but he had to find Count Christian's butler for more every week. Mr. Faith reports the accounts.
